For the intransitive sense of ἀ. = ";depart,"; as in Genesis 37:17, cf. P Petr II. 13 (5).5 (B.C. 258–3) ἀπ [ηρμ ]ένον, ";on your departure."; In the Paris magical papyrus 3082 Deissmann (LAE p. 254) ingeniously proposes to substitute for the meaningless ἀφαιρων of the MS. ἀπαίρων in the sense of ";make to go forth"; (as LXX Ps 77꞉26, 52 [MT Psalms 78:26; Psalms 78:52])—ὁρκίζων δὲ φύσα ἀπὸ τῶν ἄκρων καὶ τῶν ποδῶν ἀπαίρων τὸ φύσημα ἕως τοῦ προσώπου καὶ εἰσκριθήσεται. MGr παίρνω (also παίρω) is given as ";take,"; ";fetch"; in Thumb’s Glossary : it might equally well come from ἐπαίρω, but the meaning suits ἀπαίρω better.
